Dear colleagues, 

This is to advertise the opening of 16 PhD positions in Mathematics at the University of Rome La Sapienza, divided into: 
- 8 full scholarships (all areas of Mathematics)
- 2 full scholarships in Geometry (supervisor: Lorenzo Foscolo)
- 2 full scholarships in Probability (supervisor: Vittoria Silvestri)
- 1 full scholarship in Mathematical Physics (supervisor: Sergio Simonella)  
- 3 PhD positions without scholarship. 
Contrary to what was done in the last two years, for the PhD admission there will be no written exam

I include some useful info below:

Deadline for applications19th of June 2025 (until 23:59) 
Duration of PhD: 3 years
Amount of scholarship: 1550€ per month
Selection procedure: based on titles (CV, motivation letter etc) and an interview (which can be held on zoom). 

In particular I would like to flag that 2 PhD positions will be funded by my grant FIS 2 - Understanding pattern formation in nature via complex analysis, and on these positions PhD students will have access to a generous amount of funds, on top of a full scholarship, to use for their research activities. 

Students interested in working in probability are encouraged to apply to both the 8 PhD scholarships in Mathematics and to the 2 PhD scholarships in Probability funded by my grant. Should they have queries on the research topics and/or the application process, they are welcome to contact me at silvestri@mat.uniroma1.it

Best wishes,
Vittoria Silvestri
